The Nightjar Shelter

A Real Disappointment in Stanwood First impression was less than perfect. The code box to press the entry numbers is poorly lit. Took me several tries to input. Stairs to unit are a bit rickety and the grab rail to the left going up is in need of repair. It nearly broke when I leaned on it to help me go up and is even worse trying to go down. The toaster didn’t work and they finally sent a replacement the afternoon of my second day which also didn’t work. Uneven and slanting flooring and the threshold from bedroom to bathroom is broken and a tripping hazard. Shower curtain so dark and opaque that seeing your feet in the shower is problematic. Even the little topper on the railing outside was broken off from what appears to be wood rot. Perhaps the worst thing is the noise from the trains about 150 yards away. The earliest one was about 6am and the last one was around 1am. Nowhere in the description of the property was this mentioned. They do provide earplugs, but I can’t put things in my ears with any comfort. I hazard to think what parents traveling with young skids would do. No way an infant would sleep through the loud train horns and even feeling the floor shaking when they pass. Very disappointed and would avoid this place at all costs. Since they’re the only B&B type place in the area, there seems to be little motivation to improve.
